Nice, is it an Izhevsk or a Tula?.I recently picked up a very nice 1926 Izhevsk ex-Dragoon

It a Izhevesk its in rather good nick considering what it is.
Nice shooter with a bit of history love things like that :)

Mine appears to have had very little use and has an excellent bore so I think it has spent most of it's life in Arsenal storage, unlike my '39 91/30 that has definitely seen action and has a barrel like a sewer pipe......despite which it still shoots very nicely for an old Mosina.

Mine seems to have a barrel that has seen a decent amount of service but like you say still shoots rather well considering. It also has a MO stamped on the receiver which shows it was part of the Russian equivalent of our ministry of defence in the early 50s. I love the history behind these old war horses.

Was it from Highwood Classic Arms?....I enquired about a very similar sounding Mosin they had that had the "MO" stamp and a double date.This may interest you if you haven't read it already.....

Could we take the MN discussion to the correct forum please.

Ok no problem.......but it's not as though the discussion is cluttering someone else's thread, the discussion is with the original poster and has followed a progression and is a civilised thread.Where's the harm?, some threads go off on a real tangent.

SENTA are in the processes of implomenting a car pass system, so if you don't log your attendance , you won't get a car pass which will equal no access!

So I am assuming you can get one of these SENTA car passes if you are a member of the ODRC once you have confirmed attendance through they're website or other means of contact?
I haven't joined them yet but more than likely will soon or when the renewals start beginning of 2017.

Thanks for any info
Joe

You need to note your attendance via the fcsa website using your ODRC membership number.

No one said there is harm in it and yes threads do go well of tangent but when the diverging subject matter has so obviously a more relevant forum to be discussed on then it is best to try and place it there.

Many people scour these forums for specific information and it is helpful to them in finding information if it is lodged it the appropriate forum.
